I hope this isn't too off topic for the list. I want to buy a PDA that can also be used as a phone, has builtin 802.11 b/g wifi, and, importantly, has no problems running mini-stumbler. If the device also had a built in 1 or 2 megapixel camera, even better. The HP iPAQ 510 looks like it has the specs, but I can't find anyone anywhere using this particular model with mini-stumbler. Almost all of the Google searches I ran on mini-stumbler and iPAQs came up with older posts, i.e. 2-5 years ago. (the operating system on the iPAQ 510 is Windows Mobile 6.0) I'm not set on an iPAQ, but am more interested in getting a current PDA model that someone is already running (with the above specs) and is enthusiastically happy with what they've got.
Hi Paul, I've not had any luck with ministumbler on WM6. I tried ministumber on my Windows Mobile 6-based AT&T Tilt (aka 8925 aka HTC TyTN II). "Not a valid PocketPC application" was the error. This got me reading the ministumbler release notes and noticing the last release was in 2004, and it was probably hopeless. :-) However, on this HTC phone that includes an 802.11 radio and GPS... these toys seem to work very nicely together with WiFiFoFum2 to make a self contained war walking/driving tool that will log GPS locations of accesspoints if that adds any value for you: http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/ I've not done a ton with this phone in this respect, however, and would be interested in what folks have had good luck with in terms of wireless tools for WM6. Something with a bit more functionality for pentesting would be nice to have in a pocketable device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
